Curriculum Implementation Resources

I think that one of the ways to make curricular implementation successful is to spend a lot of time focusing on your own and your team’s learning. When we are talking about major change, when we are talking about focusing on learning and growth with our students in a structured and intentional way, we must turn that mirror on ourselves as well. Something that I often hear from my team and others who have implemented a curriculum is how this work challenges them to use their master’s degree, to continue learning, to see themselves as educators and scholar-practitioners. My team has gone from calling assessment “astressment” to facilitating focus groups, designing likert scale surveys, and analyzing descriptive statistics. These have been important skills for them to develop to build a successful, assessment-driven model.

Immersing yourself in resources will help you to build an ongoing professional and organizational learning plan and structure for your team and will serve as an important foundation for your ongoing efforts with the curricular approach. I’ve created a list of resources to help get you started.
